@WheresTommyV Oooft, we needed that.

TRY! Huge try. Saints get back to what they were doing at the start, going through the phases, big carries, and eventually they find a way through thanks to Robbie Smith. Belleau kicks. Sale 15-21 Saints.

@RugbyInsideLine What a scumbag

🥊 Training ground scraps! Footage has emerged of the fight at Waratahs training that left Angus Scott-Young with a fractured eye socket. Unsurprisingly, the Tahs have suspended Miles Amatosero, who landed the punches.

@WheresTommyV Regardless of direction, he never made an attempt to catch the ball? Any other day that's a penalty.

Try! Hutchinson's pass is picked off by Woki, with Saints feeling he's knocked it forwards. Referee decides it went backwards as Woki runs in for the score. Page-Relo kicks. UBB 38-7 Saints.

@WheresTommyV Was the ref right to blow for half time then? I'm sure UBB knocked it on whilst we were attacking?

HALF-TIME! Union Bordeaux Bègles 24-7 Saints. UBB physical and fast. Saints, who were down to 13 men at one point, under siege at times. A couple of attacking positions went awry, and Saints were made to pay almost immediately. Henry Pollock was obviously a popular scorer.

FULL-TIME! Bath 21-41 Saints. Not bad for what some were calling a second team... Tommy Freeman with a hat-trick in a special, special Saints display. Up there in the top three wins I've witnessed. Maybe top one. They absolutely bossed this. An utterly incredible display.

@WheresTommyV Stunning kick from Fin!

TRY! THAT IS UNREALLLLLLLL! FOUR FOR FREEMAN! What a crossfield kick from Fin Smith. Fantastic gather from Freeman again. Lions roaring. Class. Smith misses. Saints 43-31 Saracens.

@WheresTommyV Sarries clearly blocking our runner...

Try! Saracens strike. Referee gives what appeared a harsh penalty against Edoardo Todaro and Jack Bracken takes it quickly before sending Max Malins in out wide. Farrell misses. Saints 38-31 Saracens.

@WheresTommyV Poor discipline when it really mattered was a big contributor to that 😭

Try! Saracens will lead at the break. Juan Martin Gonzalez gets the try. Farrell kicks. Nightmare outcome for Saints, who will play for a long period at the start of the second half with 14 men. Saints 17-19 Saracens.

@WheresTommyV Unlucky there... Looked like he was trying to roll away.

Yellow card! It was coming. Tom Pearson pays for Saints' persistent offending. Saints 17-12 Saracens.

Yet again, absolute wank courtesy of @AXS_UK

@BrennansBubbles It's such a shit platform.

AEG/AXS Frustrating as hell as usual for Luke Combs Pre Sale - been at it an hour now and every ticket I click it says its gone !

Bring back queuing outside in a ticket office at this point. I'd rather sit outside in the cold waiting to be served by a real person than be spat out for being a bot online. Ticketmaster and AXS are awful and just let down real fans! Lots missing Luke Combs at Wembley now

@Slouloulou Terrible, terrible platform. Absolutely useless. Kicked me out twice. I got the same error for any ticket I tried to purchase, in any block, in any amount.

My experience trying to buy Luke combs tickets.

@Leeonfilms Bunch of wankers.

Not even 10 minutes later and scalpers have Luke Combs tickets on Viagogo for £1000? How is this fucking legal man.

@AXS_UK Or should I say, trying to buy - what a waste of time. Select different tickets, across almost every block - "these tickets are unavailable" - yes, probably because of some fuckwit using bots to hoover them up and put them on resale for £1000

There's a space reserved in hell for the creator of the @AXS_UK ticketing platform. Terrible, terrible design. "You can't leave an empty seat" - I'm not - I'm buying three just to avoid that... piece of shit. #lukecombs

@EverythingBoxi2 He is just absolutely phenomenal. So quick, so smart. Amazing.

‼️ Oleksandr Usyk KNOCKS OUT Daniel Dubois in round 5.

This ref has absolutely killed this game #NORvUBB

@WheresTommyV Another try, another forward pass in the build up... 🤦🏻‍♂️

Try! Cyril Cazeaux powers over. Couple of questionable moments in that move, but nothing given. Lucu misses. Saints back to 15 men. Saints 20-28 UBB.

@WheresTommyV A deliberate knock on with no yellow card? What's that about?

Smith slots a penalty after Saints applied plenty of pressure. Saints 13-15 UBB.
